One of the first questions I ask my clients is about their support network. How close are they to their family? Do they have friends to confide in?
People who have a good support network are better prepared for the emotional minefield that often accompanies a divorce. Family and friends can give you the support you need when you are insecure or questioning yourself. Just their presence is often enough to convince you that you are a person worthy of love and that your divorce is just a bad situation that you are going through.
If you are not close to your family and/or don’t have close friends there is no need to despair. Many people manage just fine all by themselves. Also, you can use your newfound freedom to take a class or join a club. Seeing new people who appreciate you can have a great effect on your self-esteem, divorce and future happiness.
Conclusion: There is a world full of people who are not your spouse.
